Decision Stress

My Life Changing Decision Stress.

Some times the decisions that one has to take are so difficult.

One such decision that I had to take was whether or not to send my son to another country to settle down.

I was really attached to him and dependent on him emotionally. And as I had no emotional attachment to my husband and my whole life revolved around my son.

To send him away was very tough on me and I went into depression.

Seeing all this my son decided against going away and opted to stay back. But I felt I was ruining his life and couldn't get over the guilt.

My friends helped me by staying with me through this. They got me into a routine of yoga and exercise that really helped me come out of the depression.

Regular meditation through yoga, which I started under the guidance of experienced yoga teacher of the Iyengar group, really helped me relieve the stress of my guilt. And made me see the positive side of this decision.

My friends also made me walk very day. This was a great help. While walking I came across so many others with a host of problems. So I felt much better off in my situation.

Now my son is staying with me and I feel a lot better as I can talk to him and see him everyday.

That puts an end to my days tiredness. I no longer feel guilty and have almost come out of my depression.
